Home < OpenIGTLink < ApproachesThree Approaches
Implement by yourself
- Writing applications in non-C/C++ languages
- The protocol is defined in the protocol description page.
Use simple C code (igtlutil)
- The code provides C structures for the generic header, image header and transform header, and supporting functions to create a message packet.
- Suitable for applications written in C and C++
- You can just copy the files into your source directory. You never have library link issue.
Use the Open IGT Link Library
- The library supports
- Classes to create Open IGT Link message
- TCP/IP Socket
- Thread and Mutex useful to make server program
- The library instruction is available in the Open IGT Link Library page.
